You know. I supported Trump before he ever ran for president. I could look passed the grab them by the pussy thing; the racism thing; the white supremacy thing; the rape thing; the epstein thing; the incoherent speech thing; the nepotism; the criminal activity; him sucking off putin; the dictator thing; etc. etc.

But to hear him confuse Biden for Obama, I’m out.

This case is super obviously sarcastic, but I’m going to use this to push the idea people should use irony or sarcasm punctuation, but none are available in unicode yet for some reason. That needs to change. I know we can use /s, but I hate that representation.

Germans suggested using the Fe symbol for iron, get it?

Brought to notice by Harry Shearer on his Le Show in the 1990s where he reported it as a sincere submission.

Trump can mistake Hillary Clinton for his wife and it’s not gonna change a god damn thing. He’s a fuckin dope, and if people don’t get it by now they’re never gonna get it

They do and he empowered them to get loud and fight for their “beliefs”. We’re all like “Great, another folksy dope remark, from the folksy dope”, but they see their own view on things confirmed by the great, successful & rich version of themselves.

At least that’s what I’ve come to believe, after all these years of jaw dropping things said and done. The reaction to most things Trump does and says, should be a “No” in unison from every human being that can add 1 and 1.

He’s obsessed with Obama. This event literally changed history. Trump may not have run without such humiliation.

I think he would have tried either way. He talked about running in 2000 or 2004 as a Democrat, and even suggested Oprah as his VP

Of course he’s not, He’s a stable genius: “I took it, and I aced it,” “I think it was 35… 30 questions. And let me tell you, you know, they always show you the first one: a giraffe, a tiger or a whale. ‘Which one is the whale?'” “The first questions are very easy, the last questions are much more difficult. Like a memory question,” “It’s like, you’ll go, ‘Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’ So they’d say, ‘Could you repeat that.’ So I said, ‘Yeah. So it’s person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.’" https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-brags-aced-cognitive-test-new-hampshire-1234948621/amp/

Why wouldn’t we?

They don’t even need to. Retirement age exists because we acknowledge that passed some point people are to old to function properly on the job. So what the fuck are they doing in politics?

When offered 2 bad choices i’ll stick with the lesser evil though, which is the one not literally quoting Hitler and campaign promising a dictatorship.

That is…not correct. Retirement age exists because at one time it was expected that people would generally achieve a certain level of wealth and live out the rest of their days doing what they wanted with that wealth and time. Plenty of people >65 are fully capable of certain types of work.

Yes.

When you vote for someone you are also voting for the advisors and their other support staff. I much prefer Bidens support staff.

Trump is far too narcissistic to listen to anyone on his support staff tho. I’m sure they’re constantly trying to reign him in. But somehow he remains inexplicably popular.

That’s seriously what maggots think. All of them. I watch a lot of their media and so many of the elected politicians still even say “who’s actually doing that, not Biden, is it Obama?”. Like they could come up with detailed conspiracy theories that would take someone just a few searches to realize its bullshit. But they don’t even need to do that anymore. The population is so retarded that all they need to do is reference that last guy they hated. Biden is a senile and incompetent, right? MUST BE OBAMA. Who they still think is either African or Middle Eastern and never showed iz gurd dam berf ferticate.

I never understood the Kenya thing. Even if he was born there, his mother being an American citizen at the time of his birth makes him a natural born American citizen and eligible for the presidency. Hell, McCain was born outside the US and was running against him in the same election.
